Nice light. is it 6volts?

Right now it's 120 Volts AC, and flashes, but can easily be changed to 6 or 12 VDC.

The first one, probably early 1940s, and the pair of NOS Appleton Lorraine lenses were from the 1930s.

Nice, Dan. My friend Joe Ortiz in Southern California is currator of the LA City FD museum. He also rents out vintage firetrucks, ambulances,etc. to the movie studios and has a huge compound of vehicles. One is a gorgeous '47 Chevy Panel rescue truck. One of the lights is a Mars FL8 that has a red lens lettered "FIRE". That light has to be as old as the truck.
